WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — Human skulls taken from Namibia by German colonizers returned home Tuesday after more than 100 years, but the reconciliatory gesture instead has ignited anger and renewed demands that Germany pay for its sins in this corner of Africa where more than 60,000 people were killed.
The return of 20 skulls taken to Germany for racist experiments also has fueled anger about current injustices from people decimated after rebelling against German colonizers.
